Osimhen is not Igbo.

Lol...I bet he thought Osimhen was Igbo.

forgiveness:
Ayaaaa! Chai! There's God ooooooo!

Some have to work ×5 while some get it on a plata of gold with free allowances on top. There's God ooooooo!

No wonder I keep hearing the bias and deceitful advice 'let him work harder (×20 and until he grows grey hair) he will be noticed' while others are getting called on a plata of gold. Chai! There's God ooooooo.

Sometimes there are circumstances that influence coaches choices and players invitation and these things can be a little confusing. For instance,Kayode was already an established striker in Austria when Osimhen was still at the U17 ,yet Osimhen was invited ahead of Kayode due to the fact that Austrian league was lowly ranked while in Osimhen we discovered a super duper talent that needs to be nurtured on time.

And lets be honest,Kayode is not a rare super talent like Osimhen and Iheanacho.

Rest in peace Cheik Tiote. We will meet on the last day.
Igwe nine jeko nuzu!

Xlad:
Nice and same observation.. Between him and Kelechi Nwakali, I will go for KN..

There is no comparison between KN and Ejaria. Nwakali is light years ahead of Ejaria. Forget the English hype. If Nwakali was English he will be manning Man U central midfield with ridiculous salary.

jotey:
I disagree with you on ejaria...did you watch him against Korea? he was classy...he also played well today nd I wonder why you rate him so low

Abeg,there is nothing special about Ejaria. Dude plays like a 5yrs old. Unnecessary dribble and wayward passes. He has no vision. All those English groomed players never impress me,just few.
Tell me when last we had an English-Nigerian player that blew your mind ? They are at best just average.

Mujtahida:
@all Who does Etebo remind of us in terms of versatility, energy and movement?

Amokachi, I suppose..

Icon4s:
They have to work very hard to earn the place. Most of those players making waves in that SE team are U21 so they all fall into the same age grade.

Nwakali,Orji and Osimhen need more playing time so we can assess them properly. Beside that ,we have some very good reliable hands that will be difficult to displace. In the attack we have Iheanacho,Iwobi,Onyekuru,Musa,Victor Moses,Simon Moses,Isaac Success,Musa ,Kayode,Ideye,Ighalo. Out of these players these weakest ones are Simon Moses and Musa but like I said Orji and Osimhen can't just walk into this team...They will sweat it out.

In the midfield we have Etebo,Mikel,Agu,Ndidi,Ogu,Onazi,Agbo. Out of all these players the only true attacking midfielder we have is Etebo and I know we play Mikel in that position because he insists he want to play there but I don't consider Mikel an attacking midfielder. Meanwhile,Nwakali can attack and defend but he is not ready.

Out of all the youngsters we have coming up I am more confident about Nwakali because the boy is fearless.

Orji,Osimhen and Nwakali time will come. Super Eagles is over crowded now.

forgiveness:
First of all, we never knew Etebor and Iwobi could play dat position until they were given the chance to prove themselves despite the fact that they were nobodies before they played for the national team.

Ironically, Abdul Ajagun who was already an established player with Panathinaikos, and was very much influential to them lifting the Greek version of FA cup, helped them to place 2nd twice in the league, and played in both the Europa and Champions league qualifiers was mischievously, deliberately and unjustly overlooked for an academy player and a NFL player.

Now, you are asking who is better.

I will say give him also the chance to prove himself but until them, i go dey talk.

However, Abdul is better than Eteboh.

He is better than Iheancho, Iwobi, Aluko and Etebor when it comes to playing more than 5 roles effectively.

Abdul can do better. Next.

You just talk for talking sake. These are your wishes ,that Ajagun is better than Iwobi,Iheanacho and WORK HORSE OGHENEKARO. So,if you are made the coach you will start Ajagun ahead of any of these guys ? This is probably why another Onigbinde will never coach a Nigerian team again. Why don't you invite Azeeze,Awoniyi and Gbolahan and start them.

TheGoodJoe:
Awaziem who has started games for Porto and played against Benfica and had a good game is a small pikin.

Awaziem is not a tested defender.
I rather have an untested player in the midfield than throw in a green horn in the defense. Its very dangerous.
Assuming Onazi is in the camp would you start Agu ahead of him ?

TheGoodJoe:
So far, Awaziem stood out from the defenders. If Omeruo outperforms him in training, he has my full support. If he does not, then it is riskier fielding him. We must look to fielding the best. When Omeruo returned unfit against South Africa, we paid dearly for relying on his experience. Just as we paid for relying on Yobo's experience in the World Cup. In when Omeruo made his last error for the Super Eagles, experience was not there to help him.

Fielding the best player will always be the best solution. As for the young Ajax team, they overachieved. From a team flogged out of the Champions League to a team that gave Manchester United a run for their money.

I have seen numerous experience players make childish errors. Just like Drogba's childish defending in the Champions league finals against Bayern Munich. Lucky Robben missed the penalty. A highly experienced Deimeichelis made repeated Childish errors playing for City. Let me not go to Eguavoen.

We need the best in each role.

You don start again with your training ground drill performance abi??
You wan carry small pikin wey dey play for B team go play crazy South Africans. I hail ooo
A fit Omeruo can't sit on the bench for Awaziem.

safarigirl:
abeg, we are used to Musa and his flash in the pan moments, funny enough they always come with two goals. No be new wife cause am, after all, he had better luck with the old one.

Next game, he will return to his usual okada without control self

You and I are on the same page with with Musa.
If Victor Moses was around I will not play Musa.

zicky:
I bet you if Omeruo had play the game yesterday, the match would've ended 3-1. Error full the guy body, the s/Africa and Zambia game comes to mind.

Omeruo is another Yobo in the making...Error prone. And its sad because the guy held so much promise and now he can't even stand on his two feet. Omeruo has regressed a lot. Very sad. Dude should sit up and stop dozing off.

safarigirl:
Awaziem

Because he looks cute

Joebie:
ehen eh?

That Eseose chic...

Joebie:
from Ozoro abi Oleh? lol

Guy,woman just dey hungry you...lol

My boy Nacho just proved once again he is the sharpest razor in the box.
Haterz keep drinking hatorade.

Nacho must win world player of the year! Iseee

forgiveness:
Of course, Ogu for Ndidi, Lawal for Etebor and Onazi for Agu. But I must make sure Mikel or Onazi is in the team.

And that is if Lawal ever get invited...lol

TheSuperNerd:
Sorry for the break in Transmission.... After a little over 20mins,

It is Nigeria 2-0 Togo....

Which kind break in transmission...You dey enjoy game come forget say we depend on ya commentaries.

Joebie:
2 goals now

I would still start Musa from the bench!

Joebie:
You no see the contradiction from two reports?

It still doesn't dismiss the fact that Musa is the most inconsistent player in the current Eagles.

forgiveness:
Agu - defensive midfield
Ndidi - box to box
Etebo - central midfield

If this jells, it could be the best in the world but we must find replaceable and experienced players on the bench.

Ogu is there and your boy Lawal...lol

Joebie:
I dey with safarigirl . we two dey watch am for tv

Your head no correct...silly boy

Joebie:
na wa
SkySports: Ahmed Musa (Nigeria) right footed shot from more than 35 yards to the high centre of the goal.

Twitter.com/NGSuperEagles says For Nigeria's goal, Togo's GK Alassani spilled Iwobi's cross along Musa's path. The Leicester City forward slots in beautifully.

wonders shall never end

Musa with his one goal in a million years performance.

No link to watch online?

Joebie:
And if they both prove you wrong against Togo?

I don't think I or anybody else is expecting anything different from Musa. Dude has nothing else to offer. Shehu is still a stranger to me.

tbaba1234:
Waste of space?? Yet he has been in every team selected. He was one of your best performers in he Olympics.

Well,this is the Super Eagles and he is yet to prove himself.

Joebie:
The forward line looks pretty much like my squad to tackle South Africa

Musa has been given a rope to hang himself. If he can't nail this opportunity then he is as good as gone. As for Shehu,nobi the same one wey dey play for Cyprus? That dude is just a waste of space.

Against Togo this will be my line up.

Ezenwa

Omeruo Troost Echiejile
Ogu. Agu
Ndidi
Oghenekaro

Iwobi. Onyekuru.
Nacho.

Phew.... Tribalism don tire me. I can't be calling on God's name and still hate my fellow human being.

Abeg,make Odegbami go siddon. Which change did he bring while he was there ? Old these old cargo need to go siddon.

Icon79:
